Specifically developed for high aerobic activities - 2.5 layer HydroFoil™ fabric combines a lightweight ripstop nylon shell with a composite membrane that is completely waterproof, totally windproof and extremely breathable. The outer fabric is treated with a water repellent finish that encourages rain to bead up and roll off, while a textured finish on the inside enhances comfort against your body.

| Microfibre | Shell fabric constructed from 100% polyester micro fibres, tightly woven to block wind with a light coating to resist drizzle. The ultra-fine yarn is silk-like to touch but retains breathability. The outer surface is buffed to achieve a natural 'peached finish'.

A bi-component summer fabric coupling an inner layer of polyester with a honeycomb knit outer layer of cotton. The polyester wicks sweat away from your body and the cotton draws it through to the outside, ensuring super-efficient evaporation to keep you cooler and drier. Magic.

WindFoil™ fleece combines the quick-drying and insulative benefits of polyester fleece with a totally windproof yet highly breathable barrier. The WindFoil™ membrane is sandwiched between the micro-fleece outer and wicking-mesh liner to provide effective protection in cold, dry conditions.

A bi-component knit combining 62% merino wool and 38% polyester. The unrivalled properties of superfine 18.5 micron New Zealand merino wicks sweat away from your skin while the polyester provides a durable, non-pill outer. The polyester also repels moisture which avoids total saturation of the fabric – helping it to dry faster than 100% merino. Typically it is combined with WindFoil™ fleece panels to construct hi-performance thermal bodywear that eats up a wide range of weather conditions with just a single top. Light ‘n’ toasty at 190gm/m2 and machine washable.
